Shower tray repair at your home in Allen's Green

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Allen's Green

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What affects the price in Allen's Green

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most clients in Allen's Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
